The
Sierra Peaks Section is an Outings Section
of the Angeles Chapter
of the Sierra Club that
explores,
enjoys, preserves,
and stimulates interest
in climbing and hiking up peaks in the Sierra
Nevada.
The Section offers a varied
schedule of activities
during the climbing season
ranging from introductory trips
for beginning climbers and graduates of the Wilderness Travel Course
to multi-day
backpacks
that
may
require
extensive mountaineering
skills in rock and snow
climbing.
The Section
sponsors many Outings
or co-sponsored Outings during
the spring and summer Sierra Nevada climbing season.
You are encouraged to participate
in one or more of the outings,
enjoy the mountains, make
new friends and to climb with
old friends.

Lisa Barboza, Bob Wyka and Nile Sorenson all completed the SPS list in the summer of 2014 - Lisa on North Pk, Bob on Muah Mtn and Nile on Clouds Rest. Furthermore, by completing all 3 of the SPS, DPS and HPS lists Bob Wyka, Greg Gerlach, Mirna Roach and Greg Roach joined the elite group of Triple List Finishers!

Spring and early summer are some of the best climbing in the Sierra - no rubble heaps and the chance of fun downhill glissades.

Early Summer trips may be difficult to plan - with weather and snow conditions being unknown this far in advance. Please feel free to schedule a trip and the hope it will work out - we'll be happy to work with you if dates and even location needs to be changed when you know more.

And for those leaders who don't want to plan far in advance - don't worry; we are happy to process trips for web publication at any time. Approval can be very quick. However, please remember that web publication still requires that we submit mountaineering applications (for restricted trips) and have safety committee review.

Note! Pilot Knob (south) has been suspended from the SPS list because of access and private property issues. This has been reflected in the SPS list available on this web site.
